When blood loss is suspected in a newly born infant who responds poorly to resuscitation (ventilation, chest compressions, and/or epinephrine), it may be reasonable to administer a volume expander without delay. Part 5: neonatal resuscitation: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Compresses correctly: Rate is correct. These 2020 AHA neonatal resuscitation guidelines are based on the extensive evidence evaluation performed in conjunction with the ILCOR and affiliated ILCOR member councils. 3 minuted. Chest compressions are provided if there is a poor heart rate response to ventilation after appropriate ventilation corrective steps, which preferably include endotracheal intubation. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Formula for Survival emphasizes 3 essential components for good resuscitation outcomes: guidelines based on sound resuscitation science, effective education of resuscitation providers, and implementation of effective and timely resuscitation.8 The 2020 neonatal guidelines contain recommendations, based on the best available resuscitation science, for the most impactful steps to perform in the birthing room and in the neonatal period. One observational study describes the initial pattern of breathing in term and preterm newly born infants to have an inspiratory time of around 0.3 seconds. An improvement in heart rate and establishment of breathing or crying are all signs of effective PPV. minutes, and 80% at 5 minutes of life. The heart rate should be re-checked after 1 minute of giving compressions and ventilations. Ventilation should be optimized before starting chest compressions, with endotracheal intubation if possible. High-quality observational studies of large populations may also add to the evidence. When vascular access is required in the newly born, the umbilical venous route is preferred. Even healthy babies who breathe well after birth benefit from facilitation of normal transition, including appropriate cord management and thermal protection with skin-to-skin care. High oxygen concentrations are recommended during chest compressions based on expert opinion. In newborns born at 35 weeks' gestation or later, resuscitation starting with 21% oxygen reduces short-term mortality. Table 1 lists evidence and recommendations for interventions during neonatal resuscitation.1,2,57,2043, Intrapartum suctioning is not recommended with clear or meconium-stained amniotic fluid.1,2,5,6, Endotracheal suctioning of vigorous* infants is not recommended.1,2,5,6, Endotracheal suctioning of nonvigorous infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid may be useful.1,2,5, A self-inflating bag, flow-inflating bag, or T-piece device can be used to deliver positive pressure ventilation.1,6, Auscultation should be the primary means of assessing heart rate, and in infants needing respiratory support, the goal should be to check the heart rate by auscultation and by pulse oximetry.6, Initial PIP of 20 cm H2O may be effective, but a PIP of 30 to 40 cm H2O may be necessary in some infants to achieve or maintain a heart rate of more than 100 bpm.5, Ventilation rates of 40 to 60 breaths per minute are recommended.5,6, Use of an exhaled carbon dioxide detector in term and preterm infants is recommended to confirm endotracheal tube placement.5,6, Laryngeal mask airway should be considered if bag and mask ventilation is unsuccessful, and if endotracheal intubation is unsuccessful or not feasible.5,6, No evidence exists to support or refute the use of mask CPAP in term infants.2,5, PEEP should be used if suitable equipment is available, such as a flow-inflating bag or T-piece device.5, Delivery rooms should have a pulse oximeter readily available.57, A pulse oximeter is recommended when supplemental oxygen, positive pressure ventilation, or CPAP is used.57, Supplemental oxygen should be administered using an air/oxygen blender.57. In newly born infants who require PPV, it is reasonable to use peak inflation pressure to inflate the lung and achieve a rise in heart rate. This is partly due to the challenges of performing large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the delivery room. With growing enthusiasm for clinical studies in neonatology, elements of the Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm continue to evolve as new evidence emerges. For every 30 seconds that ventilation is delayed, the risk of prolonged admission or death increases by 16%. Therapeutic hypothermia is recommended in infants born at 36 weeks' gestation or later with evolving moderate to severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Wait 60 seconds and check the heart rate. Recommendation-specific text clarifies the rationale and key study data supporting the recommendations. Establishing ventilation is the most important step to correct low heart rate. There is no evidence from randomized trials to support the use of volume resuscitation at delivery. Ninety percent of infants transition safely, and it is up to the physician to assess risk factors, identify the nearly 10 percent of infants who need resuscitation, and respond appropriately. No type of routine suctioning is helpful, even for nonvigorous newborns delivered through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. Before appointment, all peer reviewers were required to disclose relationships with industry and any other potential conflicts of interest, and all disclosures were reviewed by AHA staff. 5 minutec. If heart rate after birth remains at less than 60/min despite adequate ventilation for at least 30 s, initiating chest compressions is reasonable. In the resuscitation of an infant, initial oxygen concentration of 21 percent is recommended. The science of neonatal resuscitation applies to newly born infants transitioning from the fluid-filled environment of the womb to the air-filled environment of the birthing room and to newborns in the days after birth. According to the recommendations, suctioning is only necessary if the airway appears obstructed by fluid. Three different types of evidence reviews (systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence updates) were used in the 2020 process. The usefulness of positive end-expiratory pressure during PPV for term infant resuscitation has not been studied.6 A recent study showed that use of mask continuous positive airway pressure for resuscitation and treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in spontaneously breathing preterm infants reduced the need for intubation and subsequent mechanical ventilation without increasing the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death.29 In a preterm infant needing PPV, a PIP of 20 to 25 cm H2O may be adequate to increase heart rate while avoiding a higher PIP to prevent injury to preterm lungs, and positive end-expiratory pressure may be beneficial if suitable equipment is available.6. Glucose levels should be monitored as soon as practical after advanced resuscitation, with treatment as indicated. 8 Assessment of Heart Rate During Neonatal Resuscitation 9 Ventilatory Support After Birth: PPV And Continuous Positive Airway Pressure 10 Oxygen Administration 11 Chest Compressions 12 Intravascular Access 13 Medications Epinephrine in Neonatal Resuscitation 14 Volume Replacement 15 Postresuscitation Care NRP-certified nurses, nurse practitioners, and respiratory therapists have demonstrated the capacity to lead resuscitations.1113 However, it is recommended that an NRP-certified physician be present in the hospital when a high-risk delivery is anticipated.1113 One study provides an outline for physicians interested in developing a neonatal resuscitation team.14. Higher doses (0.05 to 0.1 mg per kg) of endotracheal epinephrine are needed to achieve an increase in blood epinephrine concentration. Once return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved, the supplemental oxygen concentration may be decreased to target a physiological level based on pulse oximetry to reduce the risks associated with hyperoxia.1,2. Uncrossmatched type O, Rh-negative blood (or crossmatched, if immediately available) is preferred when blood loss is substantial.4,5 An initial volume of 10 mL/kg over 5 to 10 minutes may be reasonable and may be repeated if there is inadequate response. A large observational study showed that most nonvigorous newly born infants respond to stimulation and PPV. After birth, the newborn's heart rate is used to assess the effectiveness of spontaneous respiratory effort, the need for interventions, and the response to interventions. Applying Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence to Clinical Strategies, Interventions, Treatments, or Diagnostic Testing in Patient Supplemental oxygen: 100 vs. 21 percent (room air). A brief introduction or short synopsis is provided to put the recommendations into context with important background information and overarching management or treatment concepts. If skilled health care professionals are available, infants weighing less than 1 kg, 1 to 3 kg, and 3 kg or more can be intubated with 2.5-, 3-, and 3.5-mm endotracheal tubes, respectively. Intravenous epinephrine is preferred because. For neonatal resuscitation providers, it may be reasonable to brief before delivery and debrief after neonatal resuscitation. If the heart rate has not increased to 60/ min or more after optimizing ventilation and chest compressions, it may be reasonable to administer intravascular* epinephrine (0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg). The suggested ratio is 3 chest compressions synchronized to 1 inflation (with 30 inflations per minute and 90 compressions per minute) using the 2 thumbencircling hands technique for chest compressions. Review of the knowledge chunks during this update identified numerous questions and practices for which evidence was weak, uncertain, or absent. What is true about a pneumothorax in the newborn? Newly born infants who receive prolonged PPV or advanced resuscitation (intubation, chest compressions, or epinephrine) should be maintained in or transferred to an environment where close monitoring can be provided. Auscultation of the precordium remains the preferred physical examination method for the initial assessment of the heart rate.9 Pulse oximetry and ECG remain important adjuncts to provide continuous heart rate assessment in babies needing resuscitation. If the infant's heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute after adequate positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions, intravenous epinephrine at 0.01 to 0.03 mg per kg (1:10,000 solution) is recommended. This guideline affirms the previous recommendations. According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby's heart rate? Breathing: Assist breathing with PPV if baby apneic, gasping, or bradycardic. Heart rate assessment is best performed by auscultation. Various combinations of warming strategies (or bundles) may be reasonable to prevent hypothermia in very preterm babies. We thank Dr. Abhrajit Ganguly for assistance in manuscript preparation. There are long-standing worldwide recommendations for routine temperature management for the newborn. Newly born infants born at 36 wk or more estimated gestational age with evolving moderate-to-severe HIE should be offered therapeutic hypothermia under clearly defined protocols. Pulse oximetry tended to underestimate the newborn's heart rate. In preterm newly born infants, the routine use of sustained inflations to initiate resuscitation is potentially harmful and should not be performed. Copyright 2023 American Academy of Family Physicians. Routine suctioning, whether oral, nasal, oropharyngeal, or endotracheal, is not recommended because of a lack of benefit and risk of bradycardia. Stimulation may be provided to facilitate respiratory effort. Electrocardiography detects the heart rate faster and more accurately than a pulse oximeter. A rise in heart rate is the most important indicator of effective ventilation and response to resuscitative interventions. If the infant's heart rate is less than 100 bpm, PPV via face mask (not mask continuous positive airway pressure) is initiated at a rate of 40 to 60 breaths per minute to achieve and maintain a heart rate of more than 100 bpm.1,2,57 PPV can be administered via flow-inflating bag, self-inflating bag, or T-piece device.1,6 There is no major advantage of using one ventilatory device over another.23 Thus, each institution should standardize its equipment and train the neonatal resuscitation team appropriately. A laboring woman received a narcotic medication for pain relief 1 hour before delivery.The baby does not have spontaneous respirations and does not improve with stimulation.Your first priority is to. External validity might be improved by studying the relevant learner or provider populations and by measuring the impact on critical patient and system outcomes rather than limiting study to learner outcomes. Birth Antenatal counseling Team briefing and equipment check Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm. A team or persons trained in neonatal resuscitation should be promptly available at all deliveries to provide complete resuscitation, including endotracheal intubation and administration of medications. doi: 10.1161/ CIR.0000000000000902. Hand position is correct. If the infant needs PPV, the recommended approach is to monitor the inflation pressure and to initiate PPV using a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 20 cm H2O for the first few breaths; however, a PIP of 30 to 40 cm H2O (in some term infants) may be required at a rate of 40 to 60 breaths per minute.5,6 The best measure of adequate ventilation is prompt improvement in heart rate.24 Auscultation of the precordium is the primary means of assessing heart rate, but for infants requiring respiratory support, pulse oximetry is recommended.5,6 However, if the heart rate does not increase with mask PPV and there is no chest rise, ventilation should be optimized by implementing the following six steps: (1) adjust the mask to ensure a good seal; (2) reposition the airway by adjusting the position of the head; (3) suction the secretions in the mouth and nose; (4) open the mouth slightly and move the jaw forward; (5) increase the PIP enough to move the chest; and (6) consider an alternate airway (endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway).5 PIP may be decreased when the heart rate increases to more than 60 bpm, and PPV may be discontinued once the heart rate is more than 100 bpm and there is spontaneous breathing. In babies who appear to have ineffective respiratory effort after birth, tactile stimulation is reasonable. NRP Advanced is suited for health care professionals who serve as members of the resuscitation team in the delivery room or in other settings where complex neonatal resuscitation is required. Clinical assessment of heart rate by auscultation or palpation may be unreliable and inaccurate.14 Compared to ECG, pulse oximetry is both slower in detecting the heart rate and tends to be inaccurate during the first few minutes after birth.5,6,1012 Underestimation of heart rate can lead to potentially unnecessary interventions. A prospective study showed that the use of an exhaled carbon dioxide detector is useful to verify endotracheal intubation. A nonrandomized trial showed that endotracheal suctioning did not decrease the incidence of meconium aspiration syndrome or mortality. This material may not otherwise be downloaded, copied, printed, stored, transmitted or reproduced in any medium, whether now known or later invented, except as authorized in writing by the AAFP. The potential benefit or harm of sustained inflations between 1 and 10 seconds is uncertain.2,29. When attempts at endotracheal intubation are unsuccessful, laryngeal mask airway (size 1) is an alternative for providing PPV in infants weighing more than 2 kg or in infants greater than 34 weeks' gestation.5,6,26, Neonatal resuscitation aims to restore tissue oxygen delivery before irreversible damage occurs. Providing PPV at a rate of 40 to 60 inflations per minute is based on expert opinion. When chest compressions are initiated, an ECG should be used to confirm heart rate. The dosage interval for epinephrine is every 3 to 5 minutes if the heart rate remains less than 60/min, although an intravenous dose may be given as soon as umbilical access is obtained if response to endotracheal epinephrine has been inadequate. If resuscitation is required, heart rate should be monitored by electrocardiography as early as possible. One RCT in resource-limited settings found that plastic coverings reduced the incidence of hypothermia, but they were not directly compared with uninterrupted skin-to-skin care. This article has been copublished in Pediatrics. In the birth setting, a standardized checklist should be used before every birth to ensure that supplies and equipment for a complete resuscitation are present and functional.8,9,14,15, A predelivery team briefing should be completed to identify the leader, assign roles and responsibilities, and plan potential interventions. See Part 2: Evidence Evaluation and Guidelines Development for more details on this process.11. Very low-quality evidence from 8 nonrandomized studies. Positive-Pressure Ventilation (PPV) In a retrospective study, volume infusion was given more often for slow response of bradycardia to resuscitation than for overt hypovolemia. The studies were too heterogeneous to be amenable to meta-analysis. For nonvigorous newborns delivered through MSAF who have evidence of airway obstruction during PPV, intubation and tracheal suction can be beneficial. Positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) remains the main intervention in neonatal resuscitation. A randomized trial showed that endotracheal suctioning of vigorous. Consider pneumothorax. Babies who have failed to respond to PPV and chest compressions require vascular access to infuse epinephrine and/or volume expanders. - 14446398 When intravenous access is not feasible, the intraosseous route may be considered. The primary goal of neonatal care at birth is to facilitate transition. An important point is that ventilation has been shown to be the most effective measure in neonatal resuscitation While this research has led to substantial improvements in the Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm, it has also highlighted that we still have more to learn to optimize resuscitation for both preterm and term infants. Therefore, identifying a rapid and reliable method to measure the newborn's heart rate is critically important during neonatal resuscitation. Immediate, unlimited access to all AFP content, Immediate, unlimited access to this issue's content. Physicians who provide obstetric care should be aware of maternal-fetal risk factors1 and should assess the risk of respiratory depression with each delivery.19 The obstetric team should inform the neonatal resuscitation team of the risk status for each delivery and continue to focus on obstetric care. The benefit of 100% oxygen compared with 21% oxygen (air) or any other oxygen concentration for ventilation during chest compressions is uncertain. NRP courses are moving from the HealthStream platform to RQI. During chest compressions, an ECG should be used for the rapid and accurate assessment of heart rate. One moderate quality RCT found higher rates of hyperthermia with exothermic mattresses. If the baby is apneic or has a heart rate less than 100 bpm Begin the initial steps Warm, dry and stimulate for 30 seconds One observational study in newly born infants associated high tidal volumes during resuscitation with brain injury. The following knowledge gaps require further research: For all these gaps, it is important that we have information on outcomes considered critical or important by both healthcare providers and families of newborn infants. 8. If you have a certificate code, then you can manually verify a certificate by entering the code here. For infants with a heart rate of 60 to < 100 beats/minute who have apnea, gasping, or ineffective respirations, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using a mask is indicated. Intravenous epinephrine is preferred because plasma epinephrine levels increase much faster than with endotracheal administration. Most newly born infants do not require immediate cord clamping or resuscitation and can be evaluated and monitored during skin-to-skin contact with their mothers after birth. The primary objective of neonatal resuscitation is effective ventilation; an increase in heart rate indicates effective ventilation. If there is a heart rate response: Continue uninterrupted ventilation until the infant begins to breathe adequately and the heart rate is above 100 min-1. Radiant warmers and other warming adjuncts are suggested for babies who require resuscitation at birth, especially very preterm and very low-birth-weight babies. CPAP, a form of respiratory support, helps newly born infants keep their lungs open. Team training remains an important aspect of neonatal resuscitation, including anticipation, preparation, briefing, and debriefing. Exhaled carbon dioxide detectors can be used to confirm endotracheal tube placement in an infant. Therapeutic hypothermia is provided under defined protocols similar to those used in published clinical trials and in facilities capable of multidisciplinary care and longitudinal follow-up. It may be reasonable to administer further doses of epinephrine every 3 to 5 min, preferably intravascularly,* if the heart rate remains less than 60/ min. 1-800-242-8721 Hyperlinked references are provided to facilitate quick access and review. In addition, some conditions are so severe that the burdens of the illness and treatment greatly outweigh the likelihood of survival or a healthy outcome. If the response to chest compressions is poor, it may be reasonable to provide epinephrine, preferably via the intravenous route. If the neonate's heart rate is less than 60 bpm after optimal ventilation for 30 seconds, the oxygen concentration should be increased to 100% with commencement of chest compressions. Inflation and ventilation of the lungs are the priority in newly born infants who need support after birth. The following sections are worth special attention. Prevention of hyperthermia (temperature greater than 38C) is reasonable due to an increased risk of adverse outcomes. The heart rate response to chest compressions and medications should be monitored electrocardiographically. In resource-limited settings, it may be reasonable to place newly born babies in a clean food-grade plastic bag up to the level of the neck and swaddle them in order to prevent hypothermia. The heart rate is reassessed,6 and if it continues to be less than 60 bpm, synchronized chest compressions and PPV are initiated in a 3:1 ratio (three compressions and one PPV).5,6 Chest compressions can be done using two thumbs, with fingers encircling the chest and supporting the back (preferred), or using two fingers, with a second hand supporting the back.5,6 Compressions should be delivered to the lower one-third of the sternum to a depth of approximately one-third of the anteroposterior diameter.5,6 The heart rate is reassessed at 45- to 60-second intervals, and chest compressions are stopped once the heart rate exceeds 60 bpm.5,6, Epinephrine is indicated if the infant's heart rate continues to be less than 60 bpm after 30 seconds of adequate PPV with 100 percent oxygen and chest compressions. Compared with term infants receiving early cord clamping, term infants receiving delayed cord clamping had increased hemoglobin concentration within the first 24 hours and increased ferritin concentration in the first 3 to 6 months in meta-analyses of 12 and 6 RCTs. Both hands encircling chest Thumbs side by side or overlapping on lower half of . For term and preterm infants who require resuscitation at birth, there is insufficient evidence to recommend early cord clamping versus delayed cord clamping. Use of ECG for heart rate detection does not replace the need for pulse oximetry to evaluate oxygen saturation or the need for supplemental oxygen. How deep should the catheter be inserted? Pulse oximetry is used to guide oxygen therapy and meet oxygen saturation goals. For participants who have been trained in neonatal resuscitation, individual or team booster training should occur more frequently than every 2 yr at a frequency that supports retention of knowledge, skills, and behaviors. Epinephrine can cause increase in heart rate and blood pressure. For infants requiring PPV at birth, there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend delayed cord clamping versus early cord clamping.
